...sources. I have tutored throughout my high school and college career. In college I worked the Physics walk in table in the school library. I also have tutored one on one with students in 7th grade math through students in college level physics. I am currently working on finishing my teaching certification. I enjoy working through physics problems as well as math problems and hope I can pass my enthusiasm to my students.

...I am fearless especially when it comes to pre-algebra, algebra, college algebra, trig, pre-calculus, calculus problems. I have tutored many high school and middle school students in math related subjects back when I was a member of National Honors Society. In addition, back when I was in elementary school, I have participated in numerous number sense and problem solving competitions. I am a very patient teacher and look forward to make mathematical problem solving understandable...

I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor. ... I would talk with the student and/or his or her parents to learn what each hopes to achieve from the tutoring sessions. I would ask what they've tried, what they liked, and what they didn't about their previous efforts. Then I would work hard to provide a good deal of value in that first lesson so that we can continue to work together.

...seventh graders to seniors in the AVID program, where we use the Socratic Method to tutor. I normally tutor math and science subjects but my favorite subject to tutor is geometry. To me, geometry is exciting and so much fun which I hope to transfer that same excitement to my all students about math. Outside of tutoring students, I am always on the volleyball court. Whether I am coaching or playing, that is where I...

...sciences in the pre-medical program. I have worked closely with learning specialists and others to enhance my educational strategies and techniques, as well as my time management and organizational skills. I am skilled at evaluating student's needs as well as teacher expectations and testing styles to ensure that the student not only learns the information but can reproduce it successfully in the format necessary for the class. Above all, I am creative and great at...

...I had pursed Biomedical Engineering out of my love from mathematics and the science and their fusion together. This degree required I learn Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Physiology and various applied Engineering courses that required an understanding of how these fields worked and could be contextualized together. While an undergraduate student I became a Michal E. DeBakey Scholar and worked for a lab that was mathematically modeling the cardiovascular system. I was put in charge...

...decision I've ever made. This is my eleventh year of teaching, and I can't imagine doing anything else. I had the fortune of having wonderful teachers that made learning math both fun and interesting. It is my goal to provide that same experience to all of my students. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy doing arts and crafts, sewing, and needlework. I also love listening to classic rock and spending time with my dogs.

...a struggling person succeed. Currently, with Varsity Tutors, I am teaching 9th grade math to Calculus 1. In the sciences, I am helping students in chemistry, honors chemistry, general chemistry, physical sciences, physics, and AP Physics 2: Mechanics. I like to tutor calculus the most because I find it interesting that we work with variables that are changing. With hard work and dedication, I believe anyone can succeed. I generally use a step-by-step approach with...

...of all ages and learning abilities. I find it rewarding to share my interests with others. My favorite subjects are Biology and other Human Science courses because I think it is very interesting to discover how our bodies work. I like to introduce a topic slowly, so that it doesn't seem daunting. I also like using real-life examples so the topic is understood and not just memorized. I am an enthusiastic, friendly person who enjoys...
